Eternity |
| She loves me, she loves me not |
| Where can a simple island boy begin? |
| This highland pride is all I’ve got |
| But in the darkness it means everything |
| It makes me one with the tide |
| It makes me strong when I’m burning inside |
| Standing here on Cadderley |
| Between the burn and the turning sea |
| I gaze across at these golden hills |
| I’m looking all the way to eternity |
| All the way to eternity |
| I stand naked I’m the native one |
| I like to feel the wind across my face |
| I like to dream but maybe I should run |
| In case our tracks get covered and we leave no trace |
| No trace of where we have come |
| No trace of songs we can hold for our young |
| Standing here on Cadderley |
| Between the burn and the turning sea |
| I gaze across at these golden hills |
| I’m looking all the way to eternity |
| All the way to eternity |
| I will sow this seed again |
| I will work this field and know it’s never ending |
| I’ll lose a son to the German wars |
| We’ll lose the land he was fighting for |
| Lose our language to greed and gain |
| All washed away by a southern rain |
| Washed until we can’t see |
| What our destiny meant us to be |
| Standing here on Cadderley |
| Between the burn and the turning sea |
| I gaze across at these golden hills |
| I’m looking all the way to eternity |
| All the way to eternity |
